Robin now offers full campus search, so you can locate people, desks, spaces (and soon, custom resources) without hunting through floor plans. Search can be accessed from the nav bars in dashboard and the mobile app and work alongside the map & sidebar.
The search tool respects and requires the proper permissions to view people, desks, and spaces.
